Phragmipedium Don Wimber (Eric Young x besseae) is a wonderful hybrid with beautiful salmon-orange flowers that appear one or two at a time, sequentially, over several months. Mature plants can stay in bloom for much of the year with tall branched spikes that are quite striking. Phrag. besseae can be particularly challenging as it prefers cool conditions, but this hybrid is 75% Phrag. besseae and 25% Phrag. longifolium, and hybrid vigor makes this plant much easier to grow. Both of the parent species prefer plenty of moisture, but this plant is quite tolerant of intermediate conditions. A very nice Lady Slipper Orchid to add to your collection!
